Pre-Nursery & Nursery 3.10.25

Nursery life 🦔🍁

We have had a fantastic week in Nursery. The children made leafy autumn crowns, modelled hedgehogs named Spikey and Small using spaghetti and playdough, experimented with primary colours through vegetable printing, and explored textures with sensory slime—stretchy, squishy, and lots of fun.

Next week, we will be discovering the world of Percy the Park Keeper and celebrating the season of harvest. Through stories, role play, and themed activities, the children will get to know Percy and his animal friends while exploring ideas such as kindness, teamwork, and caring for nature. Small world scenes inspired by Percy’s park will encourage imaginative play and storytelling. As part of our harvest celebrations, the children will also learn about where our food comes from and why this time of year is so special.
